On Strangeness and the Factory of Life: Viktor Shklovsky Then and Now

Friday, February 27, 2015 - 9:00am

Location: 1512 International Affairs Building

One-day international conference that will explore aspects of Viktor Shklovsky’s intellectual legacy. In the 1910s and against the background of cataclysmic political events, Shklovsky articulated a theory of art under the rubric of “making strange” that has proven remarkably influential in later thinking about the intersection of art and politics. Almost a hundred years after Shklovsky’s first publications, the conference will assess his vast contributions to literary history and theory, cinema and media studies, as well as his wider role in the politics and culture of the last century.
